Virtual Network Settings and Editor

[Ranger_rkm]

Hi,

I have been messing with vmware wks, for 1week +, trying to get a lab setup, and for the life of me get this to work.

Have a vmnet configured for 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.1.0

192.168.2.0 is my totally virutal network

192.168.1.0 is real network.

where can I find something that explains how to do this?

Thanks,

Mike

What type of configuration are you trying to achieve exactly?

Windows-host ?

Are you running Workstation of top of (the host) Windows or on top of Linux and which version is the host OS?

[Ranger_rkm]

Windows XP and VMWare OS Windows XP Pro

You may try this batch to set vmnet1 to the IP you wanted.

Go to VMware-installdir - open a cmd here and run

start /wait vnetlib -- stop dhcp

start /wait vnetlib -- set vnet vmnet1 addr 192.168.2.0

start /wait vnetlib -- update dhcp vmnet1

start /wait vnetlib -- update adapter vmnet1

start /wait vnetlib -- start dhcp

That should set your hosts Virtual Adapter VMnet1 to IP 192.168.2.1 and

produce reasonable settings for the built-in DHCP-server.
